I guess I like to take things in pieces. I found a brisket already trimmed at costco and the weather for today, friday, was supposed to be cloudy but no rain, and I bought it.
I seasoned it with PGs, in order of the content of the rub, and small s means an unproportionate small amount. I watched video's where they use almost half as much, even same amount as the pepper. Wife wouldn't eat it as she is very sensitive to it, either would I.
I seasoned it 24 hours in advance of the cook and stored it in garage refrigerator.
When I started this morning added more pepper and garlic, can never have too much pepper.
Smoked it on hickory at between 220* and 240* and stall happened at IT=160*. During the last 2 thirty minute segments the IT increased only 4* each half hour. Pulled at 4hr 30min time, IT = 161*.
I needed to get something else done today so I will finish in oven at 250*, should I increase this? Maybe want to eat it for dinner.
A question: I heard somewhere here that the smoke stops being absorbed by the meat at 140*. Is this true or am I imagining it?
I will produce some cut images when it is done sometime tonight.
